Molteni & C - furniture made in Italy

Enthusiasts of quality and superior interior design are well aware of the company Molteni&C. The company manufactures Italian furniture that has been at the forefront of the market for four generations, competing with the best. The main characteristics of the Italian brand remain tradition and innovation. As early as the 1970s, Molteni&C became pioneers in producing furniture through a modular program.


The company was founded by Angelo and Giuseppina Molteni in 1934 in Giussano, near Milan, and over time the brand gained international recognition. The creators amazed the world with a blend of new ideas and traditional solutions. Following the release of their first modular furniture in the 505, Gliss5th, and Pass series, which was a groundbreaking achievement in the industry, the company solidified its reputation for innovation. Despite this, traditions remained the second pillar of creating this Italian furniture.

Today, Molteni&C is a team of world-renowned specialists, including British architects Foster+Partners, Italian architect Aldo Rossi, Jean Nouvel from France, and Pier Luigi Cerri, among others. The diversity of architects and designers confirms the brand's global recognition and fame. Each day, they come up with new solutions and bring the most incredible ideas to life. The most intriguing part for us is that it is always a pleasant surprise, as their developments are kept in the strictest confidence. No one can predict what the next collection will be like.

Furniture from Molteni&C can be found not only in the apartments of connoisseurs of sophisticated and modern interiors but also in many public establishments aiming to confirm their status. It's impossible to pinpoint the most popular collection, as all of them have their unique charm. For instance, chairs like Doda and Tight, which are ordered by the most luxurious hotels for their guest rooms. Or Hi-Cove, Sol, and Clipper, where people can relax in restaurants or spas. All these series are distinctive in their simplicity. Modern Molteni&C furniture is created in the styles of modernism and minimalism.

Returning to private apartments: for them, furniture is usually chosen from collections with original names consisting of numbers - 3030, 606, 808, 909 - or from series like Clip, Wave, Levante, Oz. Each of these collections brings a special atmosphere of contemporary comfort to the home.

Why Molteni&C's Design Roster Matters

What sets Molteni&C apart isn't just the roster of internationally recognized architects who've designed for the brand - Foster+Partners, Aldo Rossi, Jean Nouvel among them - it's that the company has consistently treated furniture design as architecture at a smaller scale, rather than decoration. That's part of why Molteni&C pieces show up as often in five-star hotel guest rooms as in private residences: the same rigor that makes a building work applies just as directly to a chair.

Bringing a Molteni&C piece - or any comparable high-end Italian collection - into a real project means coordinating specifications, finishes, and lead times against your actual space and budget, which is exactly what our furniture selection service handles.

How to Buy Molteni&C Without Mistakes

  • Buy through authorized dealers. It is the only way to get the genuine product, the warranty, and the right configuration and finishes.
  • Allow time for production. Most pieces are made to order, so lead times are measured in weeks or months, plus shipping.
  • Check dimensions on the drawings. Modular systems and large sofas have to fit not only the room but also the elevator, doors, and stairs.
  • Mix rather than buying one catalog. Interiors feel alive when Italian pieces sit alongside other brands, art, and objects with a story.
